Bloor Street Entertains in Hopes of Ending HIV in Canada!

Bloor Street Entertains is an annual charity event like no other! Each year, CANFAR (The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research) hosts this incredibly creative evening as a way to raise funds toward ending HIV in Canada. In 2018, Bloor Street Entertains raised $900,000.00, setting the bar high for 2019 as the team hopes to raise $1 million in funding!

On November 27th, Bloor-Yorkville will transform as our esteemed retailers and restaurants partner alongside interior designers to create a one-of-a-kind dining and after party experiences. Spaces such as Louis Vuitton, Birks, and Brunello Cucinelli are transformed, as chefs from Buca, Alo Bar, Cafe Boulud and more, curate 4 course dinners among the table settings of Toronto’s finest floral and décor experts.

Throughout the evening, guests can participate in the silent auction which features everything from vacations, to luxury items and experiences at an incredible price point. The evening finishes off at the Four Seasons Hotel for the official afterparty for an evening of dancing alongside Toronto’s business leaders, fashion moguls, and philanthropists.
